Those who say we haven't moved forward with the plot are wrong. I want to clarify something: WE NEEDED TO SEE THE GRIEF. The fact that everything felt so bland in the last episode (which I still can't stand, just like I can't stand that Bobby is dead) is what made me appreciate this one even more. Seeing the emotions, the anger, the fear, the PAIN that cuts deep: Buck and Eddie hurt each other, Athena and Chimney hurt each other. And each one finds different ways to cope with the grief. It's part of the plot to finally see how the relationships change between them, if they move backward or forward, if they choose to stay or part ways. Beautiful, thank you.
Most of the grief the characters should be experiencing happens completely offscreen. They skip ahead two weeks without telling us anything. Buck doesn't even shed a single tear for his captain, his "father figure," the man he looked up to. And the case gets more screen time than the actual funeral.
Sometimes people think fanservice is a bad thing. Is this better? I don't think so. After eight seasons, building hype, tears, and hurt/comfort moments doesn't have to mean killing off a character. It's about creating situations and emotions. Let's remember the tsunami arc - still one of the highest-rated episodes. Wake up, writers: you created a found family, which is exactly what we needed, and now you're slowly tearing it apart with lazy writing.
